After the struggle that Robert Downey Jr. faced getting his life in order after so many years addicted to drugs, I think everyone was hoping his two kids would not suffer the same fate. Yesterday afternoon, Robert's son Indio was arrested in Hollywood and charged with coke possession. Police officers witnessed the passenger of a vehicle smoking something in a pipe. When the police officers searched the occupants they found coke on Indio and arrested him. His father spent years watching his career nosedive as he battled drugs and he could have gone the same route as a lot of other actors who get caught up in drugs and are rarely heard from again except when they get arrested. Their careers are relegated to seeing them in something on cable from when they were half decent. Indio will be 21 in September.

Best wishes to him. You know Ive met many drug ddicts the pst 3 years and they all told me they started s kids nd their parents never knew or suspected. I would think an ex-addict would see the signs in his child but maybe they don't either?

All I know,even though I come from a short line of substance abusers, I never thought it would get me. I had the invulnerability of youth. Besides, I didn't start out out of control, noticeably. I was a partier.

From what I hear, Violet, it can go either way. They see it, think it's normal and perpetuate the circle of addictive behaviour, or they recognise it as something they never, ever wanna do. Same with domestic violence, cheating a lot of those types of bahaviours

It's retrospection, that proved me wrong, I was out of control from the start. I T just looked like a learning curve :-D Young adults are secretive and unless there are Big Ass warning signs, most parents remember and give some space. You have to learn somehow and if we all learned from example, the world would be perfect. There is nothing done now that wasn't done before..Nothing.

My parents were into a lot of things when I was really young. They had been doing stuff for a while. Coke was really big for them in the early 80s. When I came out one day and said, "Look Mommy, I got straws up my nose, too," my parents decide to keep it in the back room. :)

I was one of those who just never wanted to try any of it. My sister went a different route. She dated a violent man, tried many drugs, and is a regular pot smoker (not a big deal really). She didn't see any of the drug use; I did.

@Jessica Larson Indio is almost 21. RDJ was still doing drugs in the early 2000's. So yes I'm sure he probably saw stuff. If not personally there was no way he could escape the media coverage when RDJ imploded.

The good thing is that he has a father who's "been there" and can possibly help him. That is if he wants help. Unfortunately addicts need to want the help or it doesn't work.

Good luck to the both of them. I really hope Indio gets past this like his dad did.

Yeah I agree, it can go either way...my parents were into the funny green ciggie so and I experimented with many things (nothing too heavy) but it was their calm and truthful attitude that stopped me going off the rails. It wasn't forbidden but I was always looked after as well, kids at my school with stricter parents ended up off the rails more than I. What's to say RDJ is strict with him? We don't know...I just hope he gets the help he needs...

True TTM, Jay Mewes' mother was a drug addict and according to him it put him off even drinking til his 20s because he didn't want to follow that. Unfortunately when he did that same addictive personality pushed him over edge.
